Obamao is the Manchurian candidate. He and his comrades have taken a wrecking ball to our economy with their excess spending. His policies have made a bad situation worse. The dollar has lost value, defecit and debt are out of control, gas up 100% on his watch, incomes are down, home values down, unemployment is up, # of people on public assistance is up. Time for a regime change.

I am not swayed by either candidate but I think we need a change. I am not better off than I was 4 years ago.Obama talked about how we are using less foreign oil but it means nothing at the pump.World news says the National Debt is equal to spending $900k per minute.4 more years? No way.

I'm sure Bishop Willard Romney is a nice man who loves his wife and family and that people like him. But that isn't the point when voting for president. I don't care how much or little the president smiles. I do care that he has integrity and doesn't have things to hide ... you know like why won't he release more tax records? Also, what is his policy THIS week on pro-choice issues and same sex marriage. Check the content of his debate with Ted Kennedy in 1994! And for the economy? He wants to give tax cuts to the richest 1% and cut the deficit at the same time. As Bill Clinton said, "Do the arithmetic!" And think of the Supreme Court. A President Romney will not appoint someone who will respect a woman's right to choose and it could mean a reversal of Roe vs Wade. Republicans want government out of our lives, except when it comes to the bedroom!
Please. Vote the issues. Check the facts. When someone sends you stuff about President Obama doing this or that, check it on Snopes.com or fact checker! Don't vote for someone because he has nice hair or because he's white. Vote the issues and think of your children's and grandchildren's future. A President Romney would be like a Herbert Hoover ... exactly what we don't need.

You know, I do think I'm better off than I was 4 years ago. Sure, things aren't all the way back, but I'm confident about the path we are on. I'm confident that we are climbing out of this recession and are doing it without the extreme measures being taken in Greece and other places and without excessive burdens on the poor and middle class. I don't believe trickle-down economics works and I'm looking forward to supporting a President who understands recovery has to work for all Americans.

Sean, please get your so called facts straight, its very easy in this cyber age to know exactly what gas prices were the day Obama took office. Now please fact check yourself and tell us all what the average price was the day the anointed one took office

Gas prices are nearly double. The labor force has fallen by several million, in fact if the labor force was the same as Jan 09 the unemployment rate would be over 11.4%. We were told that the if the $800 billion stimulus passed, we would be at 5.5% unemployment now. We spent that money with virtually nothing to show for it, except the bill for our kids. Today's job numbers are proof that Obama has been at the helm for the worst recovery in our history. He has also added $5 Trillion to the national debt.

Yes, he took over a mess and Bush was bad, no argument. However, his policies have brought the economy to a halt. We have less that 2% GDP growth. There is no evidence four more years will be better, in fact more gridlock would be certain. His speech last night was small and tired. It is time for change and to try an new approach. Romney is not Bush the make up of Congress is different. Time for a new path - this one is not working. 25 million of our fellow citizens can't find suitable work. There is more to this election than free contraception and same sex marriage.

Close the borders,stop giving money to countries that hate us,shrink Washington,demand to be repayed by Iraq,Kuwait,Saudi Arabia and Afganistan for our losses. We try to get countries to do things our way and they look at our mess and ask for more. Stop trying to police the world and focus on the USA and lastly let Israel do whatever they want with regard to Iran. Am I crazy?

Tricia, apparently you were on another planet during the time when the chosen one had both houses of congress and the presidency, you can feel it all slipping away can't you.

Trica,
C'mon you can't be serious. I suggest layoff the DNC kool-aid. The only people I know of that have supressed anyones civil and voitng rights is the new black panther party. if you recall Eric Holder wouldn't prosecute. Too busy misremering his involement in fast and furious. Let me guess, you were part of the Occupy Movement.

The more you talk Tricia, the better my day gets now could you please acknowledge that Obama held both houses of congress for quite some time and we are still in the shape we are in. The days of %50 of american households receiving some type of assistance from government are almost over so make sure you are secure in your government job. the glory days are coming to a close.

Regardless of who's fault it was you can't build a strong economy that is based on taking money away from earners and handing it out to non-earners. The economy is recovering despite Obama, not because of him. I don't think Romney can do anything about it either. Strong economy comes from private citizens conducting business, not from free healthcare and extended unemployment benefits. How about some EMPloyment benefits so we can get back to work and stop living off handouts? Socialist programs don't work because they are based on getting something for doing nothing. A real economy is based on people doing something to get something.

Liberal maggot? I suppose our soldiers are fighting to give you the right to say such a thing. Government is broken, people, and there isn't a republican or democrat who can fix it as president. Congress continues to obfuscate all issues by partisan finger-pointing and name -calling. Some of the nation's biggest crooks, liars and corrupted individuals are our legislators...and we continue to vote them in. I am liberal in some areas;conservative in others. However, I am not stubbornly and stupidly so rigid that nothing can get accomplished. Who becomes Presdient is nearly irrelevant--Congress is dysfunctional. Anyone who hates America and Americans should just get the hell out and stay out. Thanks for listening.

All I'm gonna say is I have Obama's back. Romney did a crappy job in Massachusetts, why the hell would I vote for him as president?!

Folks, please don't waive your ignorance like a flag. Your = possessive pronoun, as in "your candidate is a rich guy." You're = a contraction, the combination of "you" and "are," as in "you're a selfish person." I understand that 5th grade was tough, but please.

Tricia:

You and all your liberal buddies have no clue...but you all have one thing in common, your all arrogant and want it your way. Just like the Liberal Queen WAMPUM Warren, as she has proven that she knows how best to "RIG" the system. Why don't you ask her to offer an "Open House" at her $1.7 million wigwam in Cambridge? Bet she's got an elevator where even you can reach the buttons. Better yet, get both her, all your liberal buddies and King Kerry onboard his infamous yacht and sail off into the sunset on our multimillion dollar taxpayer funded asset. We KNOW that your rich liberal buddies are all better off now that you were FOUR YEARS ago...in fact we've all paid for it!

BTW hows all that "HOPE and CHANGE" working for ya now?

Reading through all these comments is fascinating. I hope some of you realize that regardless of which side, you completely negate your argument when it includes immature and ridiculous name calling: liberal maggot? comrades? Wampum Warren? You sound silly.

The same things that concerned me in 2008 are still true today. Obama's lack of experience made him unqualified to hold the office from the start and his failures as a president have proven that view to be true. You can't just become CEO of the world's largest organization (the U.S. govt) when the only jobs you have held before were 'mediocre constitutional law professor' and 'community organizer'. I know 15 year old kids in this town with more practical experience than that, but I would no sooner elect them president than I would vote for Obama this year. He has failed at his job because he didn't have the skills, developed through practical experience, to begin with. Did you know that he has only met with his cabinet twice since the state of the union? Is he really that arrogant that he thinks he can do it all himself? He must because he hasn't met with his Jobs Council since January either. What does that say about his ability to choose people if he doesn’t seek their council? You can't learn to be a CEO 'on-the-job'. That's why governors make better President's than senators or congressman: even if they have no business experience at least they have some experience from running a state - Clinton, Reagan, etc.

Have you considered what an Obama administration would look like in it’s 2nd term? It's likely John Kerry would be tapped as Secretary of State (I have no idea why, but it would get him out of our hair here in Mass), and I'll bet $20 that the empty suit in the governor's office (Deval Patrick) will end up in the seat Kerry currently holds, or be tapped as Attorney General. This is the same guy that got fired from the Justice Department by the Clinton administration. Hold on tight because the slide into mediocrity would accelerate should Obama be re-elected.

Obama works for us. He's not getting the job done. It's time we let him go.

Tricia:
Really? Are the democrats all that wonderful? You reference the Jon Stewart Show (it's a comedy by the way). You should look at this and tell me about how inclusive the democratic party is. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-september-5-2012/hope-and-change-2---the-party-of-inclusion?xrs=share_copy

Don't like either candidate. Don't trust Romney and I don't think anything will change if Obama is reelected. I believe that the congress has no respect for Obama and thats why nothing gets done. Didn't like Bush either but I believe he got the respect a President should recieve from Congress. The government as a whole is broken those in Washington are out only for themselves and the newly elected who went in saying how they were for the people quickly became for themselves and the status quo of DC. The USA needs a miracle, I hope we get one.

Enough is enough.

Most people made their minds up before the Conventions. If both parties took the millions they spent and put it into the homeless and hungry we'd see real results. Obama's speech was as predicted: pure political theater.

The Democratic party figured out long before anyone did that social networking is a way to get to voter opinion (hence why we see so many bloggers who angrily try to shut up frustrated voters with their fluff). We put in Obama with no regard for his experience or his affiliation with anti-American people and groups. Since, groups and movements have been spawned to ignite flames along social, racial, and economic lines (a prediction: the failed "Occupy Movement" will be back before elections with their iPhones recording every encounter with the hopes of finding the right "oppressor" to hold up their "99%" claim and hopefully catch one of their own getting pushed by a cop or a soldier). And we will continue to see the White House discredit Special Forces because they DARED to accuse him of putting them and their family lives at risk by leaking secrets to the media to get a political lift in the polls, so now they have a member of the SEALS as a schoolyard example of how THEY should not be trusted. "Wag the dog."

Our schools and colleges have been teaching revisionist history for over 40 years so I am not upset with "Obamapologists:" they are, on average, really smart and passionate but so easily mislead.

ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

ABO = Anybody But Obama! For you math challenged libs, Obama added 5 Trillion dollars in debt and the FED is indicating another round of dollar deavaluation (stimulus)! Its time to get an adult in the Oval office!

Simple answer folks! Live within your means. Government should do the same.

im so sick of librel's taking my money and giving it to welfare queens in rocksberry. the guvmint is soshilist. nobama is not Amercian. he doesnt look like a Amercian and he's a muzlim. god bless our troop's. my father alway's said librel's are the problem. mitt romney is amercian. he was born here in this contry. he is chrsistian not muzlim. not a librel . nobama lie's. to much money spent on edjucation. period. let people pay for there own kid's. to much on welfare. nobama was born in africa. he wont show his' birth cetrificate. romney showwed his. nobama send money to buildd muzlim church's. I will vot for Romney.

Willard needs to go back to 2nd grade, IMO.

I will be voting for Obama. I don't support Romney's positions on the issues. Not much else to say. I vote on the issues, end of story.

John F Kennedy: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country!
Obama: ask not what you can do for your country,ask what your country can do for you!
My, how the Democratic party has changed.

Actually, Bush policies did lead to the meltdown and the democrats are to blame as well. It started with the dismantling of Glass Steagall under Clinton and pushed by Alan Greenspan. That made way to interstate bank mergers and we all know how greedy bankers can be. Following that, the Bush Adminsistration did a fairly good job watching what was happening, but Congress got in the way. The fed under greenspan continued to lower interest rates which led to the bubble. I would argue that when it went off, both Bush and Obama continued to fill the holes to keep the economy floating.

Lots of things are being said, to bad we can't see our leaders work together. We bad mouth them, we call them names and I am as guilty as any one. I think we could find something positive about both men. I would feel better about Mr Romney if he would produce at least 5 years of his income tax records. I am offended that a man with his income only pays 13 % income when I know of retiree's pay 15%. There is much more on both sides. We need to elect people that can cross the aisle and work to gether for the good of our people and our country. My God bless us and our beloved country.

Jerry, You are seriously wrong. Remember,-- "WE THE PEOPLE"-- not we the government? First of all Romney gives a tremendous amount of his $$$ to charity! Obama lied about their pensions in the second debate. OBAMA, not Romney, has more pension then Romney and most of it is invested in CHINA!! Fact check that if you care to. Obama has had four years to do a good job and has failed. The Benghazi,(sp.?) cover up is unbelievable and Obama, Biden, and Clinton have lied and missled the American people and the families of our dead heros. The buck stops with the COMMANDER IN CHIEF!! Obama played politics and did not want to have to admit that terrorist were still active when Obama declared they were alomost gone. Obama and his "team" lied and blamed these murders on a mob over a movie!! We "ALL" know that that was completly wrong and emails "LIVE" IN THE SITUATION ROOM WITH OBAMA "LOOKING AND LISTENING IN REAL TIME" prove this. Obama had the nerve to face the parents of these wonderful AMERICANS, and lied and blamed the attack on a video!! SHAMEFUL, DISSGRACEFUL, AND IMPEACHABLE ACTIONS. The "IN THE TANK MEDIA" doesn't oven talk about it in the news! Fox News is the only one to give the people the news that we and'-- especially the families' are entitled to hear and know the truth. I do hope the hearings will do their work! Let's hear it- you Marblehead people, who want the TRUTH to be brought out. Truth always wins. God bless us all!!

Need proof the media is in the tank for Obama? On Meet The Press this am Carly Fiorina brought up the debacle in Lybia. David Gregory quickly shut her down with the comment, "We'll get to that later." Big surprise--he never got to it!

WOW---this is unbelievable!! Somethng has to be done!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!
